Unwanted and Unneeded Marketing Ads
Let’s Be the Change!
I was born
in the sixties, and grew up watching the Marlboro man cowboy, and the camel
cigarette camel on the TV screen telling us that smoking would make us look
like something different and feel like something different.
For that matter, this commercial: https://youtu.be/yQmpqvoEpws is from
1966 when I was only a year old. Come to where the flavor is.
Eventually,
those type of TV commercials were banned and removed from TV ads, and now we
see these instead: https://youtu.be/Y_56BQmY_e8 which tend to make people realize the cost of
cancer, and tobacco together.
However, the
thing is, we just keep going from bad to worse. For example, I just seen (and
looked, but cannot find on the internet at this time.) a commercial for ‘Tequila
Herradura.’ Now they have two commercials rolling, to which I could find
neither. But the one I approve of whereas they are cutting down and chopping
the agave azul plant, and then showing you how they chop it in half, and put it
into some kind of cooker, and heat it up. That one, to me is educational. The
other commercial, states, and I quote: “You don’t know me yet.” It’s a female
drummer and some other people who would hope to become famous, in one way or
another. The end is trying to put into your head that their brand of tequila
can help you strive for success.
This is
where I draw the line. Just like the Marlboro cowboy doesn’t make you sexy when
you smoke, the tequila isn’t going to make you famous. Ads are misleading,
especially the ads that are bad for you.
The weight
loss commercials, they cannot guarantee you weight loss, the anti-wrinkle cream
cannot get rid of those crow’s feet. And by all means, don’t listen to X-Files,
because ‘The truth is not out there.’
I am so sick
of the ads and the lies, I feel like the television is nothing but a box trying
to program us, it is no wonder people are keeping their children away from it
now of days. Paid programming is just that: paid to program us, in more ways
than one.
One of the
things we as boob-tubers need to realize and do is simple. Mute the TV during
the ads, take a bathroom break, get up and stretch your legs, and move around
during the commercials. Stop being such couch potatoes, and letting the TV
control you, instead, take control. You have the remote, tell it who the boss
is. This way you can control your excessive eating habits, and snacking, and
even move around a little bit more. Once you start doing, you will see a
change. This is just the first step. Once you do this, (which is a small and simple
step.) you can move onto the bigger things later.
It’s never
too late to show those ads, that we don’t need them, and who is the boss! Help
me out here! It’s time for a change! Do it with me, and share this article, and
let’s be the change and get others to join us! We can do this! Who is with me?!
